What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners rave about the authentic Brescian cuisine, particularly the creamy polenta and flavorful pasta dishes. The warm, familial atmosphere and incredibly friendly staff contribute to an unforgettable dining experience, often at very reasonable prices. While the main room can get a bit noisy when full, it adds to the convivial atmosphere.
"I absolutely loved this place and would definitely come again!
We were around 14 people and they were kind enough to host us around 10pm only calling 1 hour earlier. The manager was very friendly and offered us negroni shots since we had to wait just a little. And even though we were a big group, the food came very fast. And I was especially impressed by the fact that they remembered almost everyone’s order and put them accordingly in front of us without the need to be reminded who ordered which dish. This was a very nice detail for me. Additionally, I felt the genuine attention of the staff and they were very kind to make sure that all of us were enjoying. Our happiness made them happy too.
We started with some aperitivo that included some very good types of polenta and plates of hams/salami etc. Everyone enjoyed their main dishes. You can order any type of meat or pasta, you won’t be disappointed.
They also have white or red house wine options.
We paid 25 euros each as 14 people and we had so much to eat."

"Best restaurant we visited in Brescia. During a busy weekend when we came for dinner they unfortunately didn’t have a table, but we reserved one for the next day. The atmosphere is cosy and friendly, the staff is attentive and helpful. The food we ordered was delicious. For starter we got polenta with half and half sauces, one was with Gorgonzola and the other with tomatoes sauce. This was the creamiest and most delicious polenta I ate so far. For main we got paccheri with ribs, and casoncelli alla bresciana. Both were delicious. For dessert we got sbrisolona which was also very tasty. The food was absolutely delicious and I highly recommend coming here, for me the best was polenta."
Mateusz Olszewski
"I fully understand why this place is booked out every night. The service is perfect, everyone is kind and nice and welcoming. The food is amazing, I barely ever had pasta as delicious as this one. And the restaurant is beautiful, too. I will definitely come back whenever I’m in Brescia again. Thank you so much for this experience! (I had 3 courses)"
